Anyone here run greddy oil?
i was just wondering if anyone here runs greddy oil. besides me. its fully synthetic and they run a pretty good blend for turbo cars. i ran it on my sr, GR2 which is a 5w40 blend. they offer other weights as well. it held up the oil pressure pretty well. let me know any feedbacks you guys might have.

Why?
Just use Durablend or some other really cheap oil off the shelf. Unless your endurance racing it really is not going to do anything special. Most engines fail on Nissans because of Oil Pickup molestation.

well its not much more expensive than royal purple. but i think its really good. i used it on autox. and i used greddy spark plugs as well. to me i felt a difference.
and i love my cars so i dont mind spending money on it. shops in the east coast are starting to carry the oil and spark plugs and thats what they use now.

Personally I dont see a difference. Just stick with mobil 1 synthetic. The good stuff. Anyways the only time I would ever use expensive oil is if I race or track in which I would use royal purple..

Yea, I love my castrol, Syntec 0w-30, or the regular 10w-30 dino oil, depending on the car.

People like you are why they jack up the prices so much, There is nothing Special about it just b/c Greddy sells it. Ya they sell decent products but by NO MEANS would i spend 10 cents to have there name on my car or in my car. The difference you felt was prob your mind thinking its better. But I bet your mind feels alot better now knowing you just spent more money on a name.

I've been using Mobil 1 for a while, but I'm gonna give Durablend a try next oil change (which is really soon).
Also, motor oil is one of those situations where you don't always "get what you pay for" like everyone always likes to quote in every thread that ever mentions anything whatsoever regarding price or value. =P |

there are a few. where in jersey are you? well 201 im guessing either jersey city or bergen, anyways in bergen theres ATX motorsports, in jersey city and central nj theres Wired electronics in linden and Maximum autosound in garwood.
well thanks for the responses and the not so very nice ones. i wasnt asking for you to dish out on me and rag on me for using what i believe helps. but its appreciated regardless. i was just asking the people who used it and what they thought of, i wasnt asking for a comparison.

You didnt pose a question?
You just asked about other people using greddy oil. Why would you even do that?
